18:11Z EF1 KENX NY Greene Halcott Center The National Weather Service confirmed a brief tornado from an eyewitness report of about 15 trees with their tops torn off in a forested area on a hilltop at about 2400 feet elevation. This report aligned with strong rotation evident on Doppler radar imagery. The maximum estimated winds were 90 miles per hour.
19:24Z EF0 KOKX CT Litchfield Birch Hill The NWS Storm Survey confirmed an EF0 tornado in the town of Kent, CT. Damage was confined to uprooted and snapped trees.
19:36Z EF0 KOKX CT Litchfield Minortown Damage photos supplied by the public suggest that a brief tornado occurred on Quanopaug Trail in Woodbury. Numerous trees were downed in various directions in a wooded area. Maximum winds were estimated to be around 85 miles per hour.
19:53Z EF1 KOKX CT New Haven Bethany EF1 Tornado staring in Bethany, CT and ending in North Haven, CT. Maximum path width of 500 yards and a path length of 11.1 miles.||Based on a National Weather Service damage survey done in |conjunction with CT Division of Emergency Management and Homeland |Security and local CT town emergency managements, it has been |determined that a strong EF1 tornado, with maximum wind speed of |110 mph, tracked southeast from Bethany to North Haven CT. ||The tornado first touched down in a forested area to the |southeast of Judd Hill Rd in Bethany CT. The tornado tracked |southeast over primarily forested areas from Amity Rd, to Munson |Rd towards Litchfield Tpke, creating a path of damage about 75 |yards wide, with hardwood tree damage consistent with wind speeds |of 80 to 90 mph. ||The path of damage widened to around 300 yards as the tornado |tracked southeast towards Lake Bethany. Structural damage, |including significant roof damage to several homes, and snapped |hardwood trees indicated wind speeds of around 100 mph in this |area.||The tornado path continued southeast for another 4 miles to near |the town center of Hamden CT, with tree and structural damage |indicative of wind speeds of 70 to 80 mph. The intensity picked up|significantly as the tornado approached the center of Hamden, as |evidenced by extensive damage to numerous buildings, including the|flat roof of a 2 story building across from Hamden Town Hall |being torn apart. Wind speeds are estimated to be around 100 mph |based on the damage to these buildings, bent metal fencing around|town hall, and uprooted and snapped trees.||The tornado reached maximum strength and width from this point on|as it continued southeast across Wilbur Cross Parkway, Interstate|91, and down to the intersection of Arrowdale and Thompson St in |North Haven, CT. Tremendous hardwood tree damage and structural |damage was indicative of wind speeds of 110 mph and an expanded |width of 500 yards. It is a this point that the tornado appears to|have dissipated with its destructive straight line winds fanning |out to the coast.
22:15Z EF1 KENX NY Orange Kaisertown EF1 Tornado in Montgomery, NY. Maximum path length was 600 yards and a path length of 2.6 miles.||A National Weather Service storm survey team confirmed an EF1 |tornado in Montgomery, Orange County, NY. The tornado likely |touched down on the northwest side of the Orange County Airport |near the Wallkill River. Straight line winds on the southern flank|of the tornado likely caused tree damage at the Intersection of |Route 211 and Canning Road as well as minor structural damage |noted to two buildings on the airport. A temporary meteorological |station, installed on the airfield to support this weekend's |airshow, measured sustained winds of 69 mph with a peak gust of 82|mph before the communications went out. ||The tornado moved east from near the river into the village of |Montgomery, where damage was extensive along Weaver Street, as |well as Chandler Lane. The tornado then continued eastward across |Beaver Dam Road to Old Nealytown Road where it ended. The bulk of |the damage consisted of large snapped and uprooted trees.

A house sustained major roof damage on Highway 328 west of Maynard, with most of the walls still standing. An agricultural shop was destroyed 2 miles south of Biggers. ||The tornado started just southeast of US67/62 southwest of|Biggers, destroying a metal farm building and snapping trees|along Lutrell Cemetery Road. The tornado continued northwest|blowing in some garage doors on some large metal buildings, along|with snapping limbs off of multiple trees along Gas Plant and|Biggers-Reyno roads. The tornado continued northwest for several|miles, causing mainly damage to trees, from broken limbs, to|uprooting or snapping those tree trunks. The worst damage was|observed at a site built home off of State Hwy 328 and Jerrett|Loop Road southwest of Maynard, where large sections of the roof|were torn off allowing a couple walls to fall inward. At the same|residence, a large metal outbuilding or barn was destroyed. Many|mature trees were snapped or uprooted around this location. The|tornado finally lifted further northwest along State Hwy 251|south of Palestine Road.
05:56Z EF0 KABR SD Spink Redfield The tornado track started 2 miles east of Redfield near South Dakota Highway 212. The track was evident through multiple corn fields with the corn completely leveled in some spots. The tornado crossed 172nd street and traveled through a bean field before dissipating.
05:56Z EF1 KABR SD Spink Redfield A tornado touched down on the east side of Redfield in the early morning hours. First indications of damage occurred in a corn field west of 386th avenue. Damage was then noted on east 8th avenue where several vehicles had windows damaged and a trailer was flipped into a corn field across the street. Trees along the property line with Farmers Meat Processing were damaged, one tree having landed facing west. Farmers Meat Processing signage was also torn out of the ground. The tornado path became clearly evident in the corn field across east 12th avenue. The tornado then traveled northeast into the Blume Seed Building which lost the west side doors and suffered significant wall damage, with the north wall destroyed. Seed silos on the west side of the building also buckled. The tornado spread debris from the Blume Seed building northeast into the adjacent grass field. A tree on the northeast side of this grass field toppled to the north with tree debris extending across U.S. Highway 212. The circulation from the tornado persisted through several soybean and corn fields and resulted in tree damage near 387th Avenue. The final crop damage was noted just south of 172nd Street.
06:26Z EFU KFSD SD Kingsbury De Smet Muni Arpt A tornado formed just southwest of the intersection of 203rd Street and 428th Avenue. |During a brief touchdown and eastward travel, damage was limited to crops, marked by ground scour noted on high-resolution satellite data. The tornado lifted around a quarter mile east of 428th Avenue. Crop damage is an estimate from insured losses. Information provided by the United States Department of Agriculture.
06:27Z EF1 KFSD SD Kingsbury De Smet A tornado spun up west of 432nd Avenue and north of 211th Street. As the tornado traveled generally eastward, ground scour was noted to crops.

Large branches in tree breaks were snapped and the upper half of a concrete silo collapsed. The tornado dissipated one quarter mile east of 432nd Avenue around 3 miles south-southwest of De Smet. Property damage costs are rough estimates.
